Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On March 9, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of WMS Industries Inc. (the "Company") adopted an amendment and restatement of the WMS Industries Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), effective as of January 1, 2005. The purpose of the restatement of the Plan is to incorporate the requirements of the new Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and to clarify the administration of the Plan.
 
Participation in the Plan is limited to a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Company’s non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the Plan. Under the Plan, a participant may elect to defer not less than 2% and not more than 50% of his or her annual base salary, and not less than 2% and not more than 100% of his or her bonus. Contributions from participants may be made following: (1) the participant’s reaching the Code Section 415 contribution limit under the Company’s qualified 401(k) plan or (2) the participant’s compensation exceeding $200,000 (or such other limit as may be in effect under the Internal Revenue Code). The Company will match contributions to each participant’s account in an amount equal to 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 3% of compensation that the participant elects to defer under the Plan. This matching contribution is the same match provided for under the Company’s qualified 401(k) plan. The Company may not make discretionary profit sharing contributions under the Plan.
 
The foregoing is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
